Portland producer and multi instrumentalist Posy returns to Bastard Jazz with "Netami". Harkening back towards the mid 70s sounds of the likes of Grover Washington Jr. and Bob James - the track is mellow exploration into analog production combined with Posy's deep jazz influences. A sunny meandering bassline, twinkling rhodes and guitar licks, percussion meet a live drum break with a sax driving the whole thing.  A perfect late summer vibe for morning coffee or evenings on the porch with friends

POSY - Netami

A delicate nylon-string guitar flirts with a velvety acoustic bass. A piano caresses and unsettles us. A longing angel’s voice lures us. “Last Luna” isn’t just the spellbinding debut song by Mythic Blue Junk. It’s a first taste of a vibrant new genre that will transmute jazz, pop, and blues with ancient myth and futuristic vision. This alchemical elixir reveals enchanting, intertwining realms of fantasy music, fiction, art, and poetry. Enter and never leave.

In These Years

The latest release from "Matasuna Records" is the result of a transatlantic connection between the USA and Germany, whose common denominator is the love for Brazilian music. The journey started 17 years ago when the German musical duo "Dubben" got in touch with the late American musician "Victor Meshkovsky". Almost two decades later, the Dubben interpretations of two songs that he once released with his band "Made in Brasil" on his own "Nucleus" label are now available! The second Dubben 7-inch on Matasuna features their great versions of the songs "Grilos Cantam Para Anamaria" and "One Two-Two" with a captivating vocal contribution by singer "María del Rossario". The 7-inch includes an inlay with detailed liner notes by Dubben about the background of this release.

When Victor heard about Dubben's intention to reinterpret his version of the "Marcos Valle" classic Grilos Cantam Para Anamaria, he immediately loved the idea. This version is raw and funky, according to the original plan, with "Christina Joy's" original vocals isolated from the 1975 album. Bassist "MC Scholze" lifts the down-to-earth chord changes up into souljazz territories, while the typical ingredients of the Dubben sound – brass and percussion feeding tape delays and spring reverb chambers – happily groove along.

Originally a psyched-out proggy-ish Brasil track, Dubben takes Victor's composition "One Two-Two", puts it in a box and sends it to Colombia. Of course, the parcel gets stuck on its way, much to the delight of the audience. A slow Cumbia burner with 100% organic ingredients: straight bass drum, fender bass, springy guitars, a detuned Italian organ and tons of improvised percussion, performed and recorded by the band themselves. Finally, "María del Rossario's" vocal contribution, in both English and Spanish, is more than just the icing on the cake - it's the Latin soul of the track. ¡Un dos-dos!

"Victor Meshkovsky" (*1938 Shanghai; ✝2017 San Francisco) was an entrepreneur, painter, dancer, producer/founder of "Nucleus Records", and gifted drummer/percussionist who dedicated his life to the arts. While his role as drummer/percussionist for his friend, organ genius "Walter Wanderley", might be not that well known, his self-produced and self-released albums with his band "Made In Brasil" (not to be confused with the other "Made In Brasil") have become undisputed classics among music lovers, collectors and DJs. Thanks for the music, Victor!

According to Wikipedia, "As Time Goes By" is nearing 100 years old since it was written and published in 1931 by Herman Hupfeld in 1931.  It is most often associated with the movie "Casablanca" that starred Bogart.  The KaraFun karaoke track rendition is based on a version by Tony Bennett.  This upload may well get flagged due to some issue but hey it is 92 years old.  Most everyone associated with it has been in their graves for a period of time.  I did this song at Champions' Sports Bar and Grill in Richmond KY on 8/19/2023.  Thank you for listening today.

After what some fans may have feared as an indefinite hiatus, Mr. Bill and Ryanosaurus return, at last, to serve up Scribble. Prepare your palate for a digital mural of moist, misty-morning-drive anthems, bass-laden beat burgers, and savory electronica. 
 
The latest Electrocado offering is loaded with juicy sound-quenchers, and studded with tasty collabs, featuring Circuit Bent, FM Radio Gods, and Morgan Agren. Scribble is flecked with the auditory oddities of crunchy snares and saucy slaps, rippled with acoustic riffs, and sprinkled with whistley whimsical bits, all aiming to indulge a gluttonous ear.

The avo-lution of Electrocado is apparent: with the last 3 years being focused on their individual projects, the duo have emerged once again to reveal their most stylistically varied album yet. Scribble is carefully concocted to leave the robust soundscape wafting through your daydreams and lingering into your afterthoughts.

Forever a wildcat and wild card, Los Angeles’ bassist/songwriter/vocalist Stephen Bruner, aka Thundercat, is impossible to tame artistically. A true master of his craft, he can be found playing bass with Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu and Suicidal Tendencies, in the same breath as performing live with the likes of Stanley Clarke, Snoop Dogg or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His 2011 solo debut (The Golden Age of Apocalypse, co-produced by Flying Lotus) created an equally genre-blurring enigma of indie rock and jazz, with a touch of electronica.

On his second album, Apocalypse, Thundercat pairs up with executive producer Flying Lotus to pull the veil back and reveal the simple truths of the cycle of life, for all its beauty and destruction. An album about loss and rebuilding, trying to gain something back, and capturing that moment of clarity where one finally finds feet back on the ground again. Bringing a fusion of pop, soul, electronica, prog rock and funk into an unexplored dimension, the album slowly descends and tunnels to the core of what it takes to grasp peace, at a time that it seems most far.

From the deep, rumbling entrance of ‘Tenfold,’ each of the 12 tracks coalesce with Thundercat’s signature bass, his riffs and basslines gliding sky high to meet Fly Lo’s astral touch. Bruner’s vocals and harmonies also soar with open honesty, rising above heartbreak with uplifting odes to love and companionship (‘Tron Song’) and wise mantras to live by (‘Special Stage’). The album plays as a comedy and tragedy at the same time, delicately addressing tracks like ‘We’ll Die’ while bringing the all-out cosmic funk of the anthemic ‘Oh Sheit, it’s X.’

As heavy as the lyrical weight may be, the divine musicality of Flying Lotus, and Thundercat’s instrumental collaborations, brings light. Navigating dense rhythms and intense harmonic progressions, the LP pushes through the hypnotic strands of ‘The Life Aquatic,’ the analogue explorations of ‘Lotus & The Jondy’ (recorded in Adrian Younge’s studio with drummer Thomas Pridgen), and Thundercat and Lotus’ prog rock jam ‘Seven,’ a spontaneous improv recording that organically materialized in less than an hour. It’s no wonder the kindred pair often refer to their freeform sessions as “going to space.” Continually pushing tracks to their furthest point, they take the listener to another place completely – somewhere beyond time, a place that transcends this realm. As the aforementioned track ‘Seven’ (named for its challenging time signature) asks, “Can you hear the sounds of infinity?”
